THE POWER OF PURITY

TOPIC: THE POWER OF PURITY
SCRIPTURE: Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment - Ecclesiastes 9:8
MEMORY VERSE: Psalms 45:7
DIGGING DEEP: Purity is the provoker of God's power! It is a major criteria for the anointing. There is no one that is pure that won't carry the anointing or be used by God. Because purity is the personality of God. Impurity is what turns the unction from anointing into annoying thing. Saul's anointing became an annoying thing because of impurity and disobedience (1 Samuel 16:14).
In other words, the usefulness of anything depends upon its purity. No impure life ever attracts Divine outpour.
There are two dimensions of the Holy Spirit upon us: which are the outpour and the downpour. God pours out Himself into us and this brings alive the Supernatural abilities of God in us (Joel 2:28-29), but the downpour of the Holy Spirit is an heavier and high density outburst of the Spirit of God upon us (Isaiah 32:15), so much so that we are drawn away and totally drunk in Him. That was what happened at Pentecost (Acts 2). They where all drunk and drawn away. These two dimensions are never possible if we have any form of impurity in us.
Our anchor Scripture reveals powerful secret to the anointing "Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment" this means that:
a. There is a vital connection between your state with God and His outpour and downpour on your head: Sin brings cracks in your relationship with God. And if there is a crack in our vessel, there will certainly be a lack of oil upon you. If you don't stop sinning, sin will stop every of God's good in your life.
b. The moment your garment is no longer white, you cannot have oil on your head.
All through the Scriptures, we see that "oil" signifies the Holy Spirit - His gifts and graces. Make it a responsibility to keep the oil of the Holy Spirit in your life always.
Also, follow the example of the Lord Jesus in that He "...lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness." Then this was what He got! "God, thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows." Psalms 45:7
Remember to always walk with unforgettable consciousness of the oil upon you by keeping yourself pure.
.
PRAYER: O Lord, I receive grace to always maintain the anointing I am previledged to receive from you in Jesus' name.
I ask for the outpour and downpour of grace upon me like never before in Jesus' name.
